@Tony B no ego huh-

He just doesn't suffer fools gladly, there's nothing wrong with that. A bit like Russell Crowe. I highly respect that attitude.

OH YES

So so so true!!! He is an amazing person and actor ❤

and great comment!

Yes, just ask the lighting fellow after Christian tore him a new rear end.

It comes easy to him so he dedicates himself to not feel guilty getting an easy paycheque he wants to earn it.

@@leemagrish3432 For which Bale apologised, and even then, you shouldn't fuck around like that on set as a crew member.

even if he were to be a chef, I'd think he'd be a pretty good chef.

6 years after,still remains the same

Yep.

Adam West is still Going strong !!! ... Dont write him off just yet !!! ....

Utterly huge respect for my man.

Have you even seen the Michael Keaton movies? -,-

Nicolai Haugsted he was the most accurate live action representation

Yes Keaton himself said that😂 I love Keaton too! but TDK trilogy is a masterpiece

Adam West will always be Batman ....he would kick Ben Asslicks ass ....

Yeah my kind of guy. He's obviously really intelligent too and has a good bullshit detector. We don't have endless patience is all.

The best

Jonathan Allon I totally agree. I love his work, too. Such range and versatility and amazing work ethic. He's a great actor and a great guy. That stupid tape didn't hurt his reputation in the industry, they obviously saw it for what it was, and how insignificant and out of context it was. (It might have hurt the DP's reputation in the industry.) Bale continues to have an excellent reputation as a lovely man who is very funny, friendly, generous, intelligent, down to earth, and easy to work with - people who've worked him keep praising him not only as an actor, but as a human being. People wouldn't want to work with him so eagerly, and then work with him again, nor recommend him to their friends to work with if he was "difficult" - that clearly isn't the industry opinion of him. As for us outsiders... anyone who thinks that little incident was actually somehow important, or a reason to judge Bale for... well that says a lot more about them than it ever did about him. - Though I must say that how he handled it - at the set afterwards, and then months later the ridiculously overblown storm in public - was fantastic. It was what a decent, responsible man would do. And I tip my hat to that. :)

***** No way an actor would get fired mid-production for a little thing like that and why would they be, that would make no sense whatsoever. He was trying to do his job and was repeatedly stopped from doing it, nobody got hurt - and no time or money was lost and nobody needed to work extra because of him (the same cannot be said of the DP). Also no way he was going for that - once he takes the job he does it all the way (including the promotion regardless of if he'd want to). But yes, of course he saw how things were being done during filming and how it was shaping up, plus the problems with script (writers' strike stuff and all). He must have wished he'd stuck to his initial "No" about doing it, but I'm sure that sometimes happens to everyone. Personally I still think the movie had plenty potential and could have been much better, but things don't always work out. And I still wish that story could have been continued, there was a lot to tell, but oh well. - And btw, it was the DP who was screwing things up in that instance, but I don't believe there was any chance of him getting fired, either. But there were people both on that set and outside of that movie who felt he absolutely deserved to be yelled at and some have said he got his shit together after that. :)

I have to agree as I've now exploring some of his older films which I'm really enjoying but hadn't expected to.

I know, me too i only have seen like two interviews of him and this one just wow i just like, i mean like you said how honest he was and how he was in such a honest good mood, seriously he has learned a lot from all his experiences...

+naxonesbet Yes. These DP interviews are the best.

how’s the acting going

Especially when he is working and focused.

And please don’t forget Alan Rickman too.

I'm surprised that he never went off his head with fame and drugs and things like that given how negatively he views his early acting years. Most child stars fade away but Bale stuck with it. And to become one of the most respected actors of his generation is even more impressive.

+Parko Boy If that's a serious comment, what on earth do you mean? Scary how?

I agree. I love him, he's gorgeous but equally intimidating sometime. I'd just back off and admire his greatness from a distance.

Parko Boy Exactly

Biatch Bitch While that's incomprehensible to me in itself, the way you put it sounds positive since if some people feel like that, presumably it means they just let him be when he's out and about. A good thing for a person not wanting to be a "star" or a "celebrity" and into low-key normal life.

In the best way!

Not thee best but certainly way up there. He was excellent in FURNACE and should have been nominated for BOTH FURNACE and AMERICAN HUSTLE.

***** p

BounceKnight that’s true the best actor alive I guess.

woody made that movie

I think it's mostly because when he's doing all those 5 minute interviews he gets asked the same questions over and over again, which is of course the case with all actors, but here he can speak in depth about acting, films, award season, directors etc. in a very open environment which probably makes a big difference and is freeing in a way. And it makes for a very interesting interview.

Acting is reacting and not trying to act, have to live in the moment!. The most important part or aspect of film is the direction and script , the acting is top of the list!!.

Another one is up! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y71TCQTbiRY.html

Gun-kata anyone

maybe his real life is the performance?!!

James Detwiler "He lives his act!" -The Prestige (2006)

Oh yes. Fascinating stuff. It felt much shorter than the half an hour that it was, and to me it felt like it just stopped in the middle of it all of a sudden, and far too soon. Christian was clearly happy to be chatting with this guy, it was an actual conversation and I'd have loved to have heard more of it.

indeed i was amazed at both :D these were the most interesting questions i heard in an interview for a long time! and bale is incredibly good at articulating clearly how he feels. i enjoyed every second

I just luv him soooo much! So down to earth and handsome.

***** Learn to read

How can you tell?

I agree it's a good interview. I wonder what you mean by "not normal" but yes, he's known for being really down to earth, smart, and a lovely guy - that's what people who have had personal experience keep saying. And that he's hilarious... This is a pretty serious interview (in a good way) - I'm sure his friends (and colleagues since they so often comment on it) see the silly side much more... :)

He seems pretty normal to me as well, just a very mind-strong personality which I think is very good

I never knew he was so funny or lovely. He seems perfect to me
